As far as I understand, this will only (eventually) shorten the time until the PSU will fail again. So, can I use 85° capacitors anyway? There were 105° capacitors in there before. Will it harm the PSU in any way when I use 85° capacitors? Thanks Dan

just use the 85 caps
it wil be no problem (im 100% sure about this)
Its beter to use 105 , but its also better for you to repair this today then to let your wife wait a few more days

Just want to let you guys know that i really appreciate
all the work you are doing!
Thx for sharing this valuable informations, spare part
and installation tips.
With these informations i was able to change C15, C19
and C20 in no time
Now my DP-558 is alive and kicking again even though
it seems that the psu failure shredded my dvd.
But better the dvd then my hd
Anyway,
my local electronic dealer got only 85°C components so i took them.
It works perfectly atm but i think i will order me some 105°C parts
just in case the 85°C ones make trouble on the long run.

Hi,

My Kiss DP558 worked all the time since i got it, and thats almost 3 years without any problems except the usual problems before newer firmware came out.

But now all over sudden i got this, the display only showing "KISS DVD"and nothing goes....

I read the top nr 1 thread about this problem and think... f*ck !!!

What if you are not that technical...? So the damn thing is dead and i cant repair.

what do you if your tv break down ?
what do you if your car break down ?

just go to a repairshop and be sure to make a nice documentation about the 3 parts with some photo's you find on the web

if this is a "good" repairshop thy can help you
if they cant then they are no repairshop at all

a good price will be around 20 / 35 euro
not more !
(max 20 minutes work and parts are 1 euro total)
you can also try some friends
the parts are cheap (only the delivery cost are a pain in the **)

@Kiss-Me

When my DP-558 died i had no clue what the problem was and i wouldn't
have been able to figure it out myself until i found this topic.

woodstock & raffe gave a pretty good description of what to do.

Most likely only three Electrolytic capacitors of the secondary (low voltage)
area of your psu are defective.

C15
C19
and
C20

To replace them, and believe me its not that hard you need:

1. Phillips screwdriver (for the kiss case and the four psu screws)
2. solder gun (not more than 30w power) and of course a tiny bit of solder
3. i would highly recommend unsolder wire (absorbs the old solder like a sponge)
4. two capacitors 1000μF 16V 105°C (to replace C15 and C20)
5. one capacitor 2200μF 16V 105°C (to replace C19)
6. about 20-30 minutes of your precious time

I payed 1,33 Euro for the three capacitors and 2,95 for the unsolder wire.
I hope that helps.

Have fun!

I had this PSU problem with the player not able to boot, showing only "KISS DVD" in the display. I just RMA'ed the old 80 GB box and got a new one back.

I was changing my DVD drive as suggested in another thread on mpcclub.com. After this easy job I discovered problems after I turned the DP558 on again. There was a “KISS DVD” on the display, but shortly after it disappears. After open the box again, I found that there where no +12V and +5V …. Not again….. I changed C20, C19 and C15 but still no voltage on the PSU, I checked the fuse – it’s OK and there are around 100V around C4, so the primary part of the PSU seems to be OK. My DP558 is around 3 years old

Any suggestions?
